lance armstrong's cheating and deceptions had been testified to for years but lance armstrong was no ordinary cheat, no fourth outfielder looking for a little extra power or linebacker hoping for some extra muscle. no, lance armstrong was an international hero. a seven time-tour de france winner, the usain bolt of his short. not to mention a public face in the fight against cancer. yet in his confessional last night with oprah, he confessed only what was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it, that he doped throughout his cycling career. but armstrong did not admit to cheating, denied he was a doping ringleader, didn't admitting to bullying and seemed emotionally incapable of sympathy for the people whose lives he ruined and money he took when they tried to do nothing more than tell the truth about what he had done. joining me the daily beast's buzz bissinger and sports editor for the nation dave xi ren. bus, in august of 2012, just five months ago, you wrote a cover story for "newsweek" entitled "i still believe in lance armstrong" and yet last night his interview with oprah winfrey

the fraudulent claims of lance armstrong. there has been a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by one of the members of the team. there is a law that says if you expose fraud, you can be compensated. the u.s. government may say lance armstrong should be responsible for that award. and then you have companies, as you say, like nike and other companies that depended upon his good reputation to market their products, and they could claim that they have been defrauded. so lots of potential civil lawsuits against lance armstrong, depending upon what he tells oprah in that interview. >> and if you're a lawyer, on either side, if you're lance armstrong's lawyer or you're on the anti-doping side, you're one of the agencies, these bodies looking at his record, what are you looking for in that interview? >> well, i'm looking for a precise admission to the use of performance-enhancing drugs and blood doping. i'm looking for him to say he actually did that. because you notice he rather brazenly in that deposition that was just played denies and

it's not that -- this wasn't some benefit for lance armstrong. when investigations are dropped without charges, they're just dropped without charges. they don't explain why. i can't tell you why it was done, but the fact that there was no public explanation isn't sinister or suspicious. >> do you think he was -- he wasn't -- he was refusing to answer that question for legal reasons? >> perhaps. but he did answer a lot of questions that were legally very incriminating to him. the fact that he admitted all this doping for all seven tour de france titles, that certainly is very damaging to him. legally. so why he might have drawn a distinction to that conversation versus others, i can't really answer because he did put himself in legal jeopardy several times. >> betsy, why do you think -- >> why do i think he -- >> why do you think he wouldn't answer that question? >> i don't know. i don't know. because the hospital room is where it all started. it's where it all started. and so him not answering that question is going to infuriate people who know t

lance armstrong is 41 years old. there's no more trips through the pyrenees in the the tour de france. if you're michael vick and you can still play quarterback when you come back. if you erie lewis, the great linebacker for new orleans, if you're charged with an access - your scandal occurs at the end of your career, there is no going back to the playing field and having it absolve all your sins, there's really nowhere for lance to go on a competitive basis, so that mai makes it difficult for him to come into the public's grace. >> maybe he does do some triathlons, if he decides to do that, is there any way that he could actually fool people again, that he might be able to cheat again if he wanted to? >> well, like jennifer anniston said on friends, once a cheater, and i think that's going to be people's expectation at the very start. it's going to be guilty until proven innocent for him for the rest of his days, no matter where it is in the public eye. whether it's a career in politics, whether it's something that
